October's Journal
01/11/2024
Happy November. The year really does seem to be passing by pretty quickly.
I'm glad in a way as I've been looking forward to the trip Rel and I embark on
this evening for quite a while (May, I think!). We're heading onto the
continent via ferry to the Hook of Holland, then Amsterdam. From there we
take a train to Basel (Switzerland) where we'll stay overnight with friends of
Rel's. The next morning it's train south all the way to Rome. Once in Rome
we have an AirBnB for four nights during which time we'll try to see as much of
the city (and antiquities) as we can, while still having a moderately restful
and relaxing time (and getting a few runs in). On leaving Rome we head up to
Florence for almost literally 24 hours (23 hours 50 minutes) before moving on
to a place called Pertisau in Austria. There we will fully relax and unwind
(and also do some longer runs in the mountains and around the lake) before we
head back to England via Stuttgart and Paris for the Eurostar.
It might sound like a lot, and tiring. It probably will be, but I'm very
hopeful that it will also be totally amazing and just what we need to have a
break from everything else and just be Us for a while.
The rest of November promises to be mostly lots of OS patching (spotting a
theme these last few months), security auditing, at least one trip to see my
parents, and the target race of the half marathon training (the weekend after
we get home from the trip). I'll try to do another entry at the end of this
month, but knowing me it might not happen and it'll all have to go into the
December update. See you then, or sooner.
